COVID-19/Coronavirus Update
Like universities around the world, UC Santa Cruz is actively observing impacts of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and carefully adjusting to significant changes resulting from the health crisis. The campus is following health and safety guidelines while working toward making critical decisions for the coming academic year, including what impacts this crisis will have on our university housing and dining operations.
We are working to balance our commitment to the residential experience while prioritizing the health and well-being of all students and the surrounding community. To allow us to significantly reduce our overall housing capacity and focus on a smaller on-campus population, all student rooms will be assigned as singles or doubles (no triples or quads). Residence halls will be primarily single-occupancy rooms, while campus apartments may have a combination of single and double-occupancy bedrooms (apartments will have five or fewer total residents).
